Worst Song Contest 2

Worst Song Contest 2 is a spin-off contest based off of Maia Song Contest, which is themed around sending joke songs, or bad songs. It will be held in Lussantia, following their victory in the previous edition of the contest. It is hosted by Aubry Jean and Daria Kinzer, in the Zénith Lussbank arena, which is located in Chibre-sur-Mer.

Rules
The rules of the contest, as the TSBN and FLBS unveiled them, are similar to the basic Maia Song Contest rules. A maximum number of 25 countries will be put in place, preventing a Semi-Final from being held. The rules may be subject to change as we go along.

To be able to compete, you need to have participated at least in one Maia Song Contest edition, or one if its spin-offs.

The song must respect the following rules:
 * The song can not have more than 150 million views. This is to prevent overly mainstream songs to be sent (such as Gangnam Style and The Fox).
 * The song must be at least 1 minute and 30 seconds long, or a maximum of 8 minutes long.
 * The song must be of a joke nature; bad singing, bad lyrics, bad music, funny songs etc. are all encouraged.
 * The artist or group must be human.
 * Not having previously competed in Maia Song Contest or one of its spin-offs
 * Not having previously competed in the Eurovision Song Contest or Turkvizyon

'''Before you make your entry public, make sure to send your entry to Temekylopia (StewenQ on Skype), as we need to confirm that the song is allowed. This is to prevent that no serious songs will be sent in, and a small group of people will discuss every entry sent to the contest. This is to ensure that all entries will live up to a certain quality barrier.'''

Host venue
Following Lussantia's victory in the first edition, the FLBS confirmed that the second edition will be hosted in the country. Immediately after the declaration, the national Lussantian broadcaster opened the bids for potential venues.

Its final decision shall be announced soon.
